The science behind servorum

Servorum works

In short, three key points:

  1. Breaking down big tasks into small ones makes tasks more doable.

  2. Recognition, trust and respect improve achievement, performance and resilience.

  3. Task sharing and frequent task reminders increase chances of doing the task.

Common sense, right? For those curious about the science of it all, please follow the hiperlinks below.

But first, a DISCLAIMER:

PLEASE NOTICE THAT NOT ALL OF EVERYONE’S PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVMENT DEPENDS ON RELATIONSHIPS OR ON A RELATIONSHIP WITH A SERVORUM AGENT. That would be quite a simplistic affirmation. We at Servorum contribute with an aspect that will usually help you achieve your goals or make progress towards them. We’re not God. We are not a full support network. We’re a gentle, scary push that turns your vision into small steps forward.

Now, on to the science!
